This game brings back so many memories of college and friends trying to figure out how to beat it. For anyone who is now trying to play it on your smartphone, this site helped me tremendously with the commands that you can use in the game:

The biggie here is the command "RESTORE". This is the way you can load a previously saved game. I think I tried everything else under the sun to get my SAVEd game back.

I should try to find that box...I bet that "fluff" would go for big bucks on eBay now......

Enjoy!

I've spent several hours on this game (mostly because I can play it at work as it bypasses a download or a game site) but I just lose enthusiasm half way through every time I do. I just can't get into games that have too many objects and too little direction about what needs to be achieved. Maybe it's just me being impatient or simply just not good enough at solving these sorts of problems, who knows. For me it doesn't hold a torch to more recent, better narrated, and slightly more navigable works like Varicella, Savoir Faire and Jigsaw. But hey, still a classic I guess.
